Hello, I am about 6 months out and my scars still hurt under my breasts. Is that normal? Also any recommendations on the best bras to wear?
Answer: Scars No, it is not normal for your scars to still be painful. Some might be tender at times at 6 months. I would suggest discussing this with your surgeon. Kenalog injections might be helpful. Do wear a good supporting bra while exercising. Depending upon what kind and what size of implants you have, your surgeon can guide you to a good day bra.

Answer: Painful scars No it is not common for your scars to be painful at 6 months post op. I encourage you to meet with your surgeon for an examination. If you feel your bra is the culprit you may want to consider a professional bra fitting. Many of the larger department stores and lingerie boutiques offer them.

Answer: 6 months post op pain Hello, thank you for your question. It is uncommon to have pain around the incision 6 months post op. If the pain is gradually improving then it can mean that the scar tissue is maturing and softening up. Certainly wear a good supportive bra, this can relieve some of the pressure sensation from the implants possibly putting pressure on your incision scar. Underwire bras are ok to wear along with sports bras. See what works best for you and is the most comfortable.

Answer: Scars Dear courtneylynn903, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what went wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.
